Ferrari 488 Pista

The Ferrari 488 Pista, presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2018, is the latest special series of Ferrari V8s. That is, an exclusive group of unique performance cars, which includes models such as the Challenge Stradale, the 430 Scuderia and the 458 Speciale. But the similarities stop there. Indeed, with the Ferrari 488 Pista the technicians of the Maranello-based company have taken the concept of special series to an unprecedented level, creating a Ferrari road sports car with more technological transfer from the racing world than any other.

Building on the experience gained from winning five FIA WEC
World Championship Constructors' Titles in the GTE category since 2012, and 25
years of experience in the Ferrari Challenge, the end result is an
uncompromising car with exceptional road and track behaviour, even when driven
by amateur drivers.

*** The fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures refer to the NEDC cycle and to the vehicle set-up with the HELE system. The values of fuel consumptions and CO2 emissions shown were determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval.

Lighter, more powerful

The Ferrari 488 Pista weighs 90 kg less than the 488 GTB
(with a dry weight of only 1280 kg), and packs an extra 50 hp. This extreme
evolution of the V8 turbo Ferrari, has won the 'International Engine of the
Year' award for three consecutive years (2016, 2017 and 2018) and was named
'Best of the Best', that is, the best engine of the last 20 years. It can
output a maximum power of 720 hp, with a specific power of 185 hp/l. The
Ferrari 488 Pista has a top speed of 340 km/h, and goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.85
seconds. The sound is unique, with a decidedly sporty tone.

Increased downforce on the Ferrari 488 Pista

The aerodynamics of the Ferrari 488 Pista take advantage of
the experience gained by the Maranello-based company on circuits around the
world. We can see this in solutions such as the S-Duct front, know-how acquired
in F1, the front diffusers, the adoption of the ramp derived from the 488 GTE,
and the rear spoiler. The final result of all this is a 20% increase in
download produced by the 488 GTB's body.

Pure racing style interior

The driver and passenger compartment of the Ferrari 488
Pista is dedicated to simplicity, in pure racing style. The extensive use of
lightweight, exclusive technical materials such as carbon-fibre and Alcantara
works brilliantly with the meticulous crafting and sophistication that is the
signature of all Ferrari cockpits. Contrasting hand-stitching, tread plates and
heel rests in triangular pattern aluminium are fine examples of this.

Unparalleled driving fun

The design of the Ferrari 488 Pista has been marked from the
very beginning by a total emphasis on driving fun, with high performance
typical of super sports cars that can also be used by amateur drivers. This was
achieved through a high synergy between the vehicle's mechanical and electronic
development, with the sixth version of the Side Slip Control. SSC 6.0
incorporates all the following systems around a common dynamic target: E-Diff3,
F1-Trac and SCM and, for the first time ever, the Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer.
